Facing Ling'er's questioning.

Zhuang Zhou made up a pretext and said that he came back at midnight last night.

Because it was dark, no one was alarmed.

I just slept in the backyard.

As a result, I slept until the afternoon.

When Ling'er heard that Mr. Zhuang had just woken up, she realized that he hadn't had lunch yet!

"Boss Zhuang, you must be hungry. I'll go make you something to eat."

Having said that, Ling'er turned around and was about to leave.

Zhuang Zhou quickly called her:

"Stop it, I'm not hungry. Go get your brother."

He had already had a big meal in modern times.

Not long.

Ma San also ran in anxiously and saw that it was really Mr. Zhuang who returned.

Suddenly he smiled happily:

"Boss Zhuang, you're finally back!"

Zhuang Zhou seemed relatively calm:

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Ma San nodded repeatedly and said:

"Yes, and it's a great thing."

Then he told her everything that had happened in the store in the past few days.

Then Zhuang Zhou learned something extremely important.

turn out to be.

Li Junxian actually sent himself a plaque.

They actually said that it was a plaque bestowed by His Majesty the Emperor.

Isn’t that the reward given to me by Li Shimin?

Zhuang Zhou also seemed very excited when he heard this.

Although he is essentially a modern man.

But for something bestowed by the emperor, it must not be simple!

Then I just listened to Ma San's explanation again.

Zhuang Zhou finally realized how awesome this imperial plaque was!

In this era, a plaque could be hung on a door only with the emperor's approval.

Otherwise, hanging a plaque without permission would be a violation of etiquette.

Not every family can be called a mansion.

Overstepping one's bounds will result in the death of one's head.

But logically speaking, only the residences of prime ministers and princes can be called mansions.

That is the so-called prime minister's residence and the prince's palace.

Only a handful of ordinary people can manage to establish their own government.

It is far from the kind in movies and TV dramas where any family dares to call themselves a mansion.

That's seeking death.

So even though Zhuang Zhou had the title of county baron, it was still far from enough to be called a prefect.

But since this was a plaque bestowed by the current emperor, he skipped this step directly.

This is enough to show how much the current emperor values ​​Zhuang Zhou.

After revealing all this, Zhuang Zhou prepared to go back and take a look later.

But now, we have to let Ma San deliver all the tea to Wang Zhigui first.

The tea shortage has been going on for some time.

Even hunger marketing has almost reached a critical point.

If you delay any longer, you will starve to death!

"Ma San, I brought back some different varieties of tea this time. Please have someone sort them out first."

But then Ma San said with some embarrassment:

"Zhuang Zhou, we're shorthanded in the shop now. Skinny Monkey and Fat Tiger are out delivering goods."

In fact, Zhuang Zhou had already realized this problem.

Nowadays, the sales of daily necessities in grocery stores are particularly high.

From the very beginning, Zhuang Zhou chose to provide door-to-door delivery service for large quantities of stool.

These were mainly orders from wealthy families and brothels.

Home delivery was available from the beginning.

We can’t just cancel it now.

It seems that we should recruit some people as soon as possible.

"How's the person I asked you to recruit last time?"

Zhuang Zhou had previously suggested to Ma San that he recruit some trustworthy people.

There are not only delivery people, but also house guards.

"Boss Zhuang, I was just about to tell you about this. I've already found the manpower, but the cost might be a little higher."

Zhuang Zhou didn't really care about this.

In his eyes, copper coins are just game currency.

"Who are they? Tell me how much they want."

"The leader is Niu Jiujin, the fur seller who came to the shop earlier."

"Oh, it's him. He seems to be a hunter?"

Ma San nodded and said:

"I've spoken to Niu Jiujin. He's quite strong and hardworking. He's willing to deliver goods to the shop, but his monthly salary is a bit high."

"How much does he want?"

"Three strings of copper coins!"

After a pause, Ma San continued:

"In addition, Niu Jiujin has also found four strong men in Niujia Village, and each of them wants one tael of silver per month."

Zhuang Zhou pondered for a moment.

Compared with Ma San's salary, it is indeed high.

But now Zhuang Zhou feels that the salaries of Ma San and others are indeed a bit low.

This is not the time when the grocery store first opened.

There is so much work to do in the shop, it’s time to give them a raise.

and.

Now Zhuang Zhou could vaguely hear that Ma San was the owner of the grocery store.

It's like a store manager.

If the person recruited has a much higher salary than him.

This naturally makes me feel unhappy.

So Zhuang Zhou immediately said:

"Then, let's do as Niu Jiujin said. Give him three strings of copper coins a month, and the other four people one string each."

Ma San didn't say anything after hearing this, but his face looked very gloomy.

Of course Zhuang Zhou knew what he was thinking.

He immediately added:

"And you, starting today, your monthly salary will be increased to five strings of copper coins. Skinny Monkey and Fat Tiger will each receive three strings of copper coins. As for Ling'er, she will also receive two strings of copper coins per month."

When Ma San heard this, he was stunned at first.

Then I realized what was happening and was so moved that I burst into tears.

He kept expressing his loyalty and promising to work hard in the future.

If you work like a slave for Zhuang Zhou.

He was almost about to kneel down and kowtow to Zhuang Zhou again.

Zhuang Zhou was treated like a capitalist who ate meat and left it alone.

In this era, one copper coin is roughly equivalent to 4.5 yuan in modern purchasing power.
